UNIVERSITY THEATRE PRESENTS THEATRE FOR YOUTH PRODUCTION OF AT THE ARK AT EIGHT IN MARCH

UW-Madison University Theatre presents an innovative and fun contemporary play by German playwright Ulrich Hub with translation by Heiner Piller.

The rain is starting to fall -- get to the boat! In refreshing new take on Noah and the Ark, 'At the Ark at Eight' seeks to explore free will, the value of human life, and justice-- from the perspective of three tricky, witty penguins. When two penguins are summoned to the ark, what are they to do about their friend? As the penguins sneak their friend aboard under the watchful eye of a forgetful dove, they learn and grow by exploring issues of friendship, companionship, morality and the nature of God. This Theatre for Youth production is suitable for ages 8 and up.

At the Ark at Eight opens Friday, March 13th and runs through Sunday, March 22nd. Matinees will be held on Saturday, March 14th, Sunday, March 15th, and Sunday, March 22nd. Performances will take place in the Mitchell Theatre, 821 University Avenue. Evening performances begin at 7:30 PM and matinees begin at 2PM. ASL translation will be provided at the Saturday, March 14th performance.
